1st track days booked for next month so bought these to save destroying the turinis. Gonna trial fit them today and see what they look like.

[mharvey]

That looks brilliant polished up.
I like the turbines considering they're only track wheels. Need spacing though?

 

[JDA92]

you want to check they've been properly balanced...

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

The shelf needs more Man. Give it a moustache and a hard hat.

Ah yes, I won't be on as the Crab won't be ready but might pop down and sign myself in so I can crash Phils Saxo chasing you.

​Why you not on?

Jim, have you changed the pads as standards won't last on track?

 

[leeds_182]

Fireman Sam will see you right I'm sure. RC5+'s are a good option but G doesn't stock those.

Junk. Fast road pads.
Ds3000 from G or the tweeks.

I'll throw a spanner in works, EBC Yellowstuff, never faded them at Blyton and gave them quite a bit of hammer too.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah! Straight through the mot today.

 

[Simon_16v]

Did you change the decat over? Either way still a result

 

[leeds_182]

[George@RTR_Parts]

Liking this thread mate, Cup looks well after a clean. :approve:


@Ben , haven't you got some paper clips to be counting or summat

 

[leeds_182]

Ordered ds2500 and brake fluid from g172 today.

Thats the end of the spending for the moment.

#moneypit

 

[Donny_Dog]

2500? Wtf.

 

[Simon_16v]

Good choice of pads Jim

 

[leeds_182]

2500? Wtf.

I felt 3000 might be overkill for my driving style!

 

[Donny_Dog]

granny shifting.

 

[leeds_182]

'Mechanically sympathetic' driving style.

 

[Chris205]

I'd imagine the 3000''s would be a killer for brake dust..seeing as the turini's were not long since refurbed it would be a shame to ruin them

 

[leeds_182]

Got yeah discs and fluid from g172, excellent service!

 

[Donny_Dog]

Well done today lad.

1:24 recorded. Respectable time indeed.

 

[leeds_182]

Cheers pal. It certainly takes some getting used to at first but was enjoying it after a few laps.

 

[len_beach]

You get on well Jim?

How was racing Phil?

I enjoyed it mate. I think I was trying to go too quick too soon at first but soon settled into more of a rhythm and got some more consisnent with the lines and stuff it started to come together.

It was good with Phil and dan, they're nuts. I could just about stick with Phil on the straights but on the brakes and through the corners he just left me standing! I need to take more brave pills next time as I'm probably 20mph slower through the faster corners but was nice to pop the track day cherry!
